I would also like to keep getting these emails, on the other hand some I can "understand" that feedback, as some things recently changed: * puppetlabs has a lot more devs -> more patches -> (hopefully) a faster moving forward puppet * introduction of RFCs and other dev, but non patch, discussion. People looking for help to create types and so on. Regarding, not terrible useful: I can only imagine, that some people would like to continue to read the RFCs, the general dev discussion, but not to work through the patches. So we have actually now 2 kinds of discussion, where some people might only be interested in 1 of the 2. So imho there are 2 options: A) leave the filtering out of the users, which might mean that some people are "pissed off" regarding the amount of traffic. B) create another list (if you have problem, just create a new list...) where either the general discussion takes place or where the patches are sent to. This can complicate things on where suddenly appearing discussions around a problem might happen, however I'm sure people can workout a best way to deal with these things. Furthermore, I would like to second Brice, that I like to get mails for such things, because this is _my_ easiest way to follow things. Browsing to a webservice doesn't really fit into my workflow... So besides if there will be a patchreview-webservice, there are still people who would like to get (and do!) that stuff by mail, so we anyway need to decide on one of the 2 possibilities. I'm totally fine to go with option B), although it will make some stuff slightly more complex, but I think we can figure that out. ~pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzJVMkACgkQbwltcAfKi3/KqQCgkZfCPBdvE7cG3bU7ZUbzhQ++ ZHUAoKyNoXWmgNOUDjXXVvmpBOI+73Ej =wPxV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
